soooooo some Dbag truck driver pulled out and smacked my Allroad...totaling it.....Forcing me to down size to an a4 Avant 1.8t.

Needed a car fast and this was a great deal so I thought lolol

Minor quirks I would like to work out.

My horrible gas MPG...I got better gas MPG in my twin turbo v6 Allroad than I do this little thing....

What I have done so far:

Replaced plugs
Replaced Thermostat(was stuck open)
Oil change
And cleared codes

That's one issue..Next is

I need a source for OEM parts new/used cheap. I need another headlight housing, tabs on mine were snapped off and left for dead lol

Next is Reverse slips:

When I put her in R...I feel it engage.....then three seconds later I feel it engage again but even harder. Is it toast or can we flush and repair?

Last issue(for now)...when I start car up...I hear what sounds like boiling water coming from the rear area. o.O wtf is that? lol

Oh and my wheel bearings need replaced...bad lol....but im having a hard time finding the tool for it...I need the bearing puller....any idea?

I've never used the bearing puller. Always pressed out old and pressed in new with a big press.
I'm mostly Hwy with my sedan and am about 25mpg.
check www.car-part.com for your used parts. Might get lucky on ebay too.
What codes did you have?
Did you do a per-purchase inspection before you bought the car?

DDAMANTI

yea lol but I was blinded with night and how fast I needed a car lol...

couple codes with o2 sensors...I need to scan again soon...

O2 sensors are expensive but pretty easy. Hope you have some money left over from your insurance to cover the costs of getting your new car up to speed.
